Tom first became interested in focusing the mind at age 12, when he enrolled in a Charles Atlas course to develop more muscle to support his athletic interest. This program provided a foundation for understanding the human body, body language and the use of visualization. All these concepts were part of that early program offered by the Charles Atlas dynamic tension training system. It was more than a muscled development program; it actually included concepts that developed a philosophy and way of life for many people.
